Lea,

It sounds like there are some coding issues that you
are looking at, when wanting to link to external
databases.  Unfortunately, my experience with Past
Perfect is minimal, thus I think I might be amending
part of your inquiry here.

Are there underlying database attributes (i.e. Visual
Basic, Oracle, sql) to PastPerfect, and/or developer
kits?

Cordially,
Brad
